We have a SourceSafe database with a lot of pinned files. With SourceOffsite 5.0.3, the fact that the files are pinned is not taken in account : we can not see a "pin icon" for these files and when we do a "get latest version" on these files, the pin it totally ignored and the latest version of the file is dowloaded (a more recent version than the pinned one).

Of course, I've checked the setting "Display status of pinned files" of the SOS Client options.

We have upgraded the VSS version on the SOS 5 Server. Now ssapi.dll has the version number 6.0.31222.0.But the problem with the pins remains. The pins were not created by using SourceOffsite, they are created by our build machine which uses SourceSafe directly.

We do not want to install Visual Studio 2005 now, because of the risk of incompatibility of the SourceSafe database between the different versions of VSS.

You don't have to change the VSS version all your users are using -- you just need to install the VSS 2005 Update Explorer Client on the SOS Server machine so that SOS will use that Automation Component.
